[CH3:1][C:2]1[NH:3][C:4]2[C:9]([CH:10]=1)=[CH:8][C:7]([N+:11]([O-])=O)=[CH:6][CH:5]=2.C(O)C.[H][H]>[Pd].O1CCCC1>[CH3:1][C:2]1[NH:3][C:4]2[C:9]([CH:10]=1)=[CH:8][C:7]([NH2:11])=[CH:6][CH:5]=2To a solution of 2.0 gm (11.4 mMol) 2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-indole in 100 mL 1:1 ethanol:tetrahydrofuran were added 0.25 gm 5% palladium on carbon. The suspension was hydrogenated at ambient temperature at an initial hydrogen pressure of 60 p.s.i. After 5 hours the reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure to give 1.5 gm of a dark brown solid. The solid was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with a gradient of dichloromethane containing 0-3% methanol, to give 1.19 gm (71.7%) of the title compound as light brown plates.
